Looking north along pedestrianised Carnaby Street from Ganton Street in 1974, this colour photograph shows the street’s bold pink, yellow, and black geometric paving at the height of its seventies makeover. Parked in the foreground is a brown Fiat 124, registration GME 19J, while a white Mates delivery van can be seen farther along the street. Shoppers in wide-legged trousers, leather coats, and other typical mid-1970s fashions pass famous boutiques including Lord John, His ‘n’ Hers, and Ravel Fine Shoes. Overhead, a banner reading “Carnaby Street Welcomes the World” reflects the area’s international reputation as a centre of fashion and youth culture. Having first risen to fame during the Swinging Sixties, Carnaby Street remained a lively destination for independent shops and trend-conscious visitors well into the following decade.
